Hi:
Appart from adding a switch to my project, is there anyway of "turning the stepper motor off"? Something like setting the 4 pins to LOW?
I use Stepper.h.
The motor drives as turntable, which spends most of its life quiet, but the motor gets hot (as the L298 het sink too) even at rest.
Thanks!
Needless to say I don't need the motor to hold position while not in use.
Set the ENable inputs on the L298 chip low to disable the outputs.
You ofcourse already know that an L298 is not a stepper motor driver.
Leo..
as the L298 het sink too
this driver actually for DC motor.
I suggest you to use TB6600, you can turn off the stepper rotation with it.
